I was having problems w/ GPS on my phone as well. Would be way off in Google Maps, Navigator took forever to lock, and geo-tagging photos was also way off. I did something similar - dialed the code to get to the GPS settings. However, all I did was turn Skyhook to ON and switched configuration from manual to auto. I don't seem to have any problems between yesterday and today. It locks incredibly quick and is very very accurate.

Some of you should try this method and see if it helps with anything. Good luck.
[Captivate General] tdusen:
All of those settings changes seem to improve the lock speed, but none of them change the tracking accuracy for me.
[Captivate General] kkeo:
The first phone I got had gps lock issues. I ended up returning it and the second locks within 10 secs.
[Captivate General] halfhp:
For the sake of a complete picture, here are my experiences.

I was having alot of problems with GPS so I made the config changes directed in this thread and as far as I can tell the issue has been resolved.

I can also tell you that my phone is locking to more than 3 satellites at a time - using GPSStatus I've seen 9+, with an accuracy of 5 meters.

Having said that, while I tested my friend was sitting next to me with an HTC Aria and consistently saw more satelites and locked to a higher percentage of them in a shorter amount of time than I was; when I would have 4/9 he would have 11/11 etc.

So while there is definitely something sub-par about this phone's gps, my personal experience has been a lot better than what other people have reported so far.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
The mere fact that the phone can find the sats with a good enough signal but won't lock onto them points to some type of issue with the firmware.
[Captivate General] madcheeku:
i believe setting SUPL Secure Socket to OFF helped improve the GPS on my phone.
[Captivate General] halfhp:
I take back my claim of improved performance post-fix. I think the only step of the fix step that actually does anything is the reboot, as I can simply reboot the phone and start getting a very fast lock (for a while). Then if I go back an hour or so later, the problem is back again.

Arrgggh!

Energy Raphael.21907.sense2.5.jul.02

Have been running fine for a few weeks.. then today.. i pick up my phone and take to work.. press power to bring up screen.. and my phone starts cycling the camera.. on then the volume buttons.. in a viscous loop.. then error cannot open PTTMOD and camera.exe 32 problem and something about cannot open signaturereplace.. i have re-flashed.. to new energy rom jul.13 and even tried different romz all together.. same issue every time. I am totally confused.. any help would be appreciated.

thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kameirus:
have you tried flashing back to a stock rom and then maybe try a task 29 on it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cptnjarhead:
no.. didnt think of that.. what is task 29?

thanks for quick reply
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] siralex241:
go to the energyrom thread and look at post six or so..there is task 29 and other options that may help...task 29 is the same thing as doing a flash dance(flashing back to stock rom)...task 29 reformats your phones hard drive without needing to hardreset
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kameirus:
thanks Siralex i couldnt find the info for task 29
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cptnjarhead:
Thanks.. but i might have fixed it.. used some contact cleaner.... and carefully cleaned inside and between volume buttons... seems to be stable now.. i think there might have been some moisture for some debris in the phone.

Thanks again
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cptnjarhead:
thanks for moving :)

As for fixing the problem.. my phone worked fine all day.. then started doing it again.

Very strange.. the camera keeps turning on.. taking photos.. and the volume controls going up and down..all one their own.. then the error "cannot open PTTMOD" .. so now im going to try suggested stock rom.

I will post results.

Thanks again :)

i have the same problems. i changed the ROM. i did the task 29, but the problem remains.

[Droid X General] oldmacnut:
I am on my 3rd Dinc replacement, I always seem to get duds. I have an option to get the Droid X instead of yet another refurb'd Dinc.

First, what I do/dont do with my phone.

I use GPS voice nav all the time.

I load it up with my audio books

I dont use widgets, dont do facebook, etc.

I use the camera and camcorder to take pics and videos of my kids, and I do alot of texting, sending pics/etc.

Surf the web, but I dont watch videos on the phone at all.

I use a BT headset.

I dont play games on it at all.

Could care less if the phone is rooted or not, I am rooted but I use LauncherPro so I dont have to deal with the bloated Sensi UI.

I dont have more than 6 apps downloaded from the market.

I hate the absolute ****ty battery the Dinc has.

Going on that info, is the Droid X going to give more problems (been reading up on battery, volume levels, etc) than the Dinc?, can the Droid X be considered a similar phone to what I have, except it does have that big ass screen. I have played with one for a few minutes, it is large, I can see things better on that big screen, and that screen size is the only thing that is even making me consider getting that phone.
[Droid X General] pima:
droid x

the droid x is a great phone all those things you mentioned that you like to do the droid x will do and ask for more.i have used mine for 12hr on one charge not heavy use just some videos,marketplace,texting,camera.:)

btw: the amoled screen on the incredible is not visable in sunlight.
[Droid X General] Irishpride:
I am very happy that I made the switch, the two things I miss most are some of the sense widgets and root, neither of which seem to be an issue for you. The screen is amazing, the camera is amazing and the battery is an improvement. All in all it's a great phone and I couldn't be happier with it, well maybe with root, but I'm not getting my hopes up anytime soon.
[Droid X General] spotmark:
Did you even have an Incredible? Yes, it's not the easiest to see in sunlight, but it certainly isn't "invisible", please.

To the OP, I am still trying to decide if I am going to keep my X, or go back to my Incredible. The X seems to get a little better signal then the Incredible, and it certainly works better with my Motorola T505, that I use to listen to my music through my car stereo, but it's big. I don't know if I like the feel of it in my hand. The Incredible, is a nice size, and fits perfect, in pocket, and in hand. Maybe the answer will be the 4" Samsung Galaxy S, when that arrives at Verizon. Anyway, I wish I could give you a more definitive answer, but it's only been a few days, and I'm still giving the X a chance, before I decide which on to stay with.
[Droid X General] dezoris:
I think the HTC phone despite screen size and battery life is better. The DroidX screen is horribly washed out. Even compared to other phones including the Evo.

There are things that Sense manages even if you use a different launcher that the X does not have.

Simple things like SMS/Gmail icon notifications on the X are non-existent.

You can't use contact pictures from exchange, the facebook integration with contacts is X is a joke compared to HTC.

The contact UI in sense is much better and easier to manage than the X.

The camera on the INC is faster in low light and does not turn pictures yellow like the Motorola. The Motorola lock screen is slow and buggy.

The HTC just provides a more complete experience out of the box without having to download a bunch of crap to get everything the way you want.
[Droid X General] pima:
spotmark

dont tell me that the screen is visable in direct sunlight because i did have one and your full of it if you say that you can read everything on the screen in direct sunlight.
[Droid X General] spotmark:
Not only can I see it in direct sunlight, I can do it with sunglasses on.
[Droid X General] pima:
ok whatever you say.
[Droid X General] bmcclure937:
Learn to turn up the brightness on your display... :rolleyes:

The Droid Incredible and Nexus One have identical displays and I can see my Nexus One fine in direct sunlight when I have brightness on 100%. Once I start turning down the brightness, the visibility fades exponentially.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
If you compare, the x is much more advanced and snappier than the incredible. Let's say you don't need noise cancellation and the nifty features of the cameras audio and video capture. Then yeah your cool with the incredible, essentially they're the same. Just the x has a larger display.

Also, if you sit and think, every android has a little more than this one, others have less, more have innovative inserts like the x, and others are just pretty like the droid incredible and the htc evo. This all boils down to what you feel suits your needs.

Oh btw, verizon is releasing froyo in a few weeks. For the droid, incredible, droidx, and droid 2. BGR just got the tip for it. Its on twitter. Damn, verizon really really like to be dominant. Like they see no other alternative but to be great.

[Droid X General] davisbs999:
I must agree with pima. I absolutely love my Inc (I also bought the X and am deciding which to keep), but it is extremely difficult (for me anyways) to read things like text messages on it when outside in direct sunlight on a bright day, even when I set brightness all the way up.

Sense definitely runs more smoothly than Motoblur, however I don't care for either and can't comprehend why Motorola or HTC would want to try to fix something that is not broken. It's maddening that OS updates are held up for months because of this. I long for a phone that doesn't force me to use it's manufacturer's UI (and is less glitchy than the N1). But I digress...

I see enormous potential in the X's camera, but find it to be very frustrating in it's current form. For example, I couldn't use Barcode Scanner yesterday because the auto-focus kept zooming in and out; therefore, the camera couldn't focus on a barcode long enough to get a scan (the same phenomenon resulted in inconsistent pic's). Luckily, this is undoubtedly a software issue the should be resolved in short order through an OTA update (this may well be fixed in the update that is being rolled out today).

I love the X's keyboard. I actually also liked the Inc's keyboard relative to my previous phone, the N1. However, the X's keyboard is the best I've used on a smartphone (and I also owned an iphone 3gs at one low point in my life).

The X's battery is way better than the Inc's in my opinion. I get more life from it than I did from the 2150 extended battery I bought from HTC.

I can defintely empathize with oldmacnut's dilemma. Both phones have clear advantages/disadvantages. I'm finding that rooting/unlocking are more important to me than i realized, so I will likely go back to the Inc. However, if was in the OP's shoes I would probably go with the X, especially considering that its bugs are fixable and Froyo update is coming soon.
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
I came over to the x from the dinc myself, if u aren't rooting i'd go with the x. The hi is actually a little more gittery on the x but the biggest difference i can notice is the actual power of the proccessor on the x, not just clock speed. The x can run games that would make my dinc choke up and freeze. Look at the quadrant benchmarks. Its freakin rediculous. The dinc is a AWESOME phone. The build quality feels superior on the x and it really comes down to what fits u best. I can say i miss the DInc but i don't regret getting the x. Goodluck, this cud b a tough decision.
[Droid X General] spotmark:
After today, I decided that the X is just too big for my liking. I reactivated my Incredible, and tomorrow, I'm shipping the X back to Verizon.

come on man really you sound like my wife:)
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
This phone is huge... I just had to get a magnum case for it, the normal sized case fits too tight
[Droid X General] spotmark:
I know, she tells me that all the time, too. :p

But, seriously, it's just too big to use with one hand. I predict, that we will start hearing about people dropping their X while trying to use it one handed.
[Droid X General] tats_06:
I did perfectly fine in sunlight...make sure the auto brightness is checked and you will be fine. Had the Incredible for 2 months...Now have the X, and I would say the X is may be a little bit better in sunlight, but NOT by much... Incredible size is better.. X is just TOO big. :eek:
[Droid X General] bblanski:
I am starting to wonder if I should keep the X. May like the dinc more
[Droid X General] Reddog80p:
They are both great devices. I had the choice of either or and I choose the Dinc. It's an HTC thing. IMO I think HTC has the best smartphones available period. Motorola choose to encrypt the bootlooder and imo that's extremely lame. Sure it may not matter to the average Joe but it's still sneaky.
[Droid X General] money226:
I also have both and am still undecided which I prefer. As far as both out the box it depends on wether you're new to android or not. HTC Sense is very user friendly and I love the wigdgets. Motoblur is a bit laggy and the widgets aren't bad but not as good aa HTC. Performance in my opinion is about equal except games. The X is definitely superior although I never have a problem with the Inc. The Incs camera is slightly better but not much. I could go on but I think it comes down to root. I love to customize and make my phone unique. With the X it looks like that will be hard and the Inc is already rooted. And the X is really big but not uncomfortably so although I prefer the size of the Inc. So like I said before they're both great devices so I think root is really the deciding factor. Once the X is rooted it will probably be far superior.
[Droid X General] dB Zac:
First off, the volume of the phone is every bit as loud a the inc. if you compare it to the droid, the droid is much louder. I have had great battery life, definitely better than the inc. I girds I an lucky because I haven't had any issue. Now if you are a sense fan, that may be enough to sway you to the inc and the inc has a more vivid screen. I don't like sense,i am a vanilla android fan. That being said,i like the motorola widgets.

I have owned the inc and I liked my droid more. Now I like my droid x the most
[Droid X General] monjod:
PROS: Voice Commands through my bluetooth headset, Plantronics Pro. I missed this feature so much when I left Windows OS.

CONS: VERY disapointed that the phone has the same issue as original Droid. When I place the phone between my head and shoulder to free up my hand. This blocks the antenna and causes distortion and/or voice loss to person on other end. This is very annoying and close to a deal breaker for me. Also having many problems with dropping calls or dialing with my ear.

Battery life. In early reviews it was stated that battery life was much better than Incredible. I so wish it was true. But in my experience the Battery life is Par if not worse. I admit I hammer the phone, but come on there is no way it will last all day. Motorola chargers, I wish we could get a universal charging synching option from the industry. Why is it that the USB cord that works perfectly for every other device I have owned will charge and sync but not with Droid X. I just hate the length of the stock cord.

I am hoping these issues will be fixed, the Droid X is the bomb just not perfect. I miss Sense and really my call quality shoulder issue is very annoying to say the least. Especially to the person on other end.
[Droid X General] krelvinaz:
Played around with an X yesterday for a bit. Have had a Dinc since they were first released and love it.

One thing that I missed quickly was the lack of a the optical mouse. I use that all the time when dealing with text.

Is there some alternative to it on the X??

Saw a review which mentioned there was something but then they never talked about what it really was.

Motoblur appeared to be lagging as well and the nav that pops up while switching home pages is a pain. Would most likely need to change launchers if it cant be turned off.

It is larger... but not that bad. have big hands.
[Droid X General] zanix:
The DroidX has a magnified bubble to help in positioning the cursor, kinda like the iPhone

If you tap on the input box about where you want the cursor to go, then tap and hold in the red dot with the circle, you will get the magnified bubble

I use the "Feeds and Updates" widget that comes stock on the Captivate and it seems to work ok. Sometimes you have to get it to manually update though.

im talking abt the updates when someone comments on yer status, etc...
[Captivate General] Ph8:
As far as I know and Ive seen this posted elsewhere with different devices Andriod does not have instant notifications ala IPhone notifications. I found this out when my Fiancee got the EVO 4G. The only way (for now) to get those notifications is to have a text message sent IIRC...
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Yes, there are no push notifications on android as there are on iphone. Some apps you can set to go out and actively check for things every few minutes, such as sports scores, emails, twitter updates, etc. But then that obviously uses more battery power. But no push notifications (except for google applications like gmail and google voice).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grospolina:
So is your phone originally the SO-01B (docomo)? If so, then you should either be using SO-01B files or X10i (NOT X10a).

Can you try reflashing to SO-01B firmware to make sure that there isn't anything wrong with your phone? Just run step1 from the following (this is the original root package, which used docomo firmware). Don't run any other steps.

ROOT_F2v1.rar (borrowed from [GUIDE] Root your X10 R2BA023 !)

For the SEUS method, why did you replace the java files? That's only for decrypting ROMs, not for flashing your phone. Also, you should be using X10i files.

For the Omnius method, did you put the files in the correct order? Application should be X10i_GENERIC_1234_8465R8A_R1FB001.zip (large file, ~100MB) and Customization should be phone.zip (small file, ~15MB). Since you have the SO-01B, you could also try these files:

Hi alucine, thank you for your reply.

OMG! I have exactly the same situation as your experienced.

If it is a nand failure issue, is that mean I should give up and send my phone to SE center rather than do any trial.

However, I am wondering most of the guy who came across the Yellow exclamation mark after updating by SEUS finally saves back their phones by using one of the methods. How can Bin4ry expected our issue is related to the NAND failure issue. How can we confirm whether we have the NAND failure issue or not after we got the Yellow exclamation mark. Is it exactly related to the battery condition when flashing the x10 with any method?

Can we draw the concultion that, the X10 user will got NAND failure(HW related) if the flashing was under poor battery condition.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
Hi,

please be so kind and upload the log of the X10flash program. Because i personally dont know the Omnius Program ;)

Like you said the falsher finishes the progress, if its 3 minutes or 5 minutes , i dont know :D I never measured the time of the process :P

If you upload the flashlog maybe we can help you.

The problem is following:

Maybe you have a bad nand, then X10flash, Omnius, SEUS or whatever try to flash your phone, all data is send correctly but the phone doenst write it to nand correct.

So what happens now after flash ? The bootloader checks and validates the firmware which is on your phone, if the calculated checksum is not correct the bootloader sends you to semc recovery (you see the triangle and the exclamation mark ! )

If nothing helps and X10flash runs correctly etc. then the last option is that your nand is ****ed up (this happens sometimes , you can compare it to faulty ram on PC or smth.). This is not too bad for you because SE has to exchange your device into a new one.

But first of all, please upload your X10 flashlog, and lets see what happens there :)

Regards
